Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Under the facade of "doing so much for you" lies the blatantly obvious truth, which is that women need men for sustenance, for protection, for feeling sexy, for exploitation, for dumping responsibility, for fixing their problems, etc. All men need women for is sex and kids. The first you can get without marriage, so if all a man needs is kids, why the f&ck bother figuring out what women want?
    Why would men care about what women want? Because if you have that sort of attitude, you'll end up taking whoever will have you. Don't forget women have a choice too. You don't just club one over the head and drag her home. I would hope there's more thought in selecting a lifelong companion and the person who will not only have your kids, but more importantly (though you completely ignored this fact), raise them.

    Reminder: If you would like to talk about women in the workforce, please do it in this thread where this same discussion was had.

    I'm not saying women SHOULDN'T work. I'm saying they should put their kids before their career and if one is interfering with the other than adjustments need to be made. However, once somebody see's $$, all judgment seems to be thrown out of the window. Anyways, the only reason she's making ends meet is because she's in debt. The day care costs and her transportation costs to get to work is more than she gets paid.

    Damn mos, way to pull a Haykakan.

    I infer that if I was in Armenia I probably wouldn't care but seeing that her kids have no relation to me culturally, my time and frustration is really going to waste, lol.

    Where do you infer that from?

    Tough call, it's not easy juggling work and raising small kids. The woman that works with me is so stressed out at times, she can't remember what happened yesterday let alone in last weeks meeting. Forget even bringing up an issue from 2 weeks ago. If she was a guy, I would have had been in the bosses office complaining everyday and my boss would agree but alas, men do have a heart. She makes the same pay even though she has an excuse to pick up the kids while I'm stuck at work late covering. This equality thing isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Really in a round about way, I'm paying for her kids.

    There was an article today:

    A Toronto police service officer will apologize for his conduct after he was heard telling women at a York University assembly they could avoid sexual assault by not dressing like "S!uts."

    I tried leaving comments like "you don't leave the door to your house unlocked and not expect a burglary. Don't make yourself a target for predators."

    And the moderators wouldn't even accept them. The Feminist agenda like the Israeli propaganda, it's like they are everywhere.
